PLÖRK – GAMIFICATION AND GROUP COACHING COMBINED

transcript

„why does children focus never extend 40 minutes in a classroom and more than 3 hours with World of Warcraft?“

„you paid me 40 years for my hands, for the same price you could have my brain.“

„you can change processes not human“

„one for all and all for one!“

Bloody question

If Games are cool, but gamification drives new challenges out, and installing a natural way to install a culture of continuous improvement leads to generate inside out innovation,

Can we expect having a new process based on gamification to work better?

The Purpose

PLöRK (play and work) is a

gamification process using sequences of

games to drive people naturally

to solve problems.

Unlike Gamestorming or

Innovation Games, PLöRK focus either on

solutions than on the game.

PLöRK is a moderation process, an educational

process that use the power of

group dynamics to bridge the

gaps and engage change in

organization.

The Levers

Playing for purpose

Team dynamics

Result consolidation (Complicated)

Like the « wheel of life », transition is moving from one step to another.

Understanding dynamics

The Purpose (Simple)

My contribution

(Chaos)

We collaborate (Complex)

Result consolidation (Complicated)

1. Start „Simple“

2. Let people express their opinion3. Then launch team

dynamics

4. Measure outcome

5. Result should be „Simple“

Where are the Games?

• Games are giving the beat in the loop.– An Ice-breaker to kick-off the SIMPLE– An individual creation/brainstorming game for

CHAOS– A collaboration game for COMPLEX– A priorization game for COMPLICATED

Intensity

PLöRK is an empirical process

PLöRK enables fast decisioning, fast learning, fast adoption by creating a safe boundary for tests… the game

PLöRK Process

Preparation

Set up vision

Clear purpose with customer

Define definition of done: outcomes, measures,

deliverables, Quality gates

Ignition

Select games according scenario

Prepare facilitation material

Customise to client special context

Test and run dry

Workshop

Set up confidence zone

Brake the ice

Initiate « Simple » driver

Lead people in « Chaos » individual brainstorming

Drive them in « Complex » collaboration area

Debrief in « Complicated », highlight good practices

Closing

Retrospect on work done

Align findings and design action plan

Set up next step calendar

Review the work

Provide questionnaire to attendees

Close the workshop

Reporting

Report questionnaire data

SWOT according acceptance criteria (DoD)

Edit report to customer

Why games

We use the power of « game dynamics » to get

out of the routine

• You have 47 different approaches in game dynamics… here the 20 firsts: achievement, appointment dynamics, avoidance, behavorial contrast, behavioral momentum, bissful productivity, cascading information theory, chain schedules, companion gaming, contingency, countdown, cross situational leader-boards, discincentives, endless games, envy, epic meaning, extinction, fixed internal reward schedule, fixed ratio reward schedule…

Roles!

• All attendees are gamers, including the facilitator.

• Like in science, observers are tainting the development flow.

• Only the facilitator drives the team from loops to loops in the PLöRK process without harming the team dynamic.

• The only constraints is the time-boxing of the loops.

Outcome of the PLöRK

1. Learning by doing2. Discover the hidden dynamics your people3. Introduce the principles of permanent

Change and emerging Innovation4. Be agile by example
